The Whooping in Waco, a 52-28 beat down by the Baylor Bears over previously undefeated Kansas State.

And the stunning 17 -14 victory by 21 point underdog Stanford in Eugene, over the nation’s highest scoring team Oregon, readmits the SEC into the national title picture.

If Notre Dame can get by a wounded USC team, the Irish will play the winner of the SEC Championship Game between Georgia and Alabama, for the national title.

AMAZING!!!

Its days like Saturday, which reinforce the reasons of why, we think, the college football season is the best of them all.

The results also dramatically shook up the fluid Heisman Trophy race.

The consensus now is that’ it has come down to a two person race: Johnny “Football” Manziel, quarterback of Texas A&M, and Manti-Te’o, linebacker of Notre Dame.

This Saturday night, with maybe the biggest prime-time national television college football audience of all time, it may be Te’o’s to lose.

In LA the king is dead, long live the king!

Led by its newly minted coach Jim Mora, UCLA, in the Rose Bowl, ended five years of frustration, as the Bruins stomped its cross-town rivals 38-28, giving the preseason No, 1 team in the land its 4th loss. YIKES!

It gives new relevance to the rivalry, and UCLA football.

And it’s nice to see a class act winning football games in Los Angeles.
